This colourful home is designed by Danish Studiomama. Never thought so much colour could actually work, found via ideas to steal. I´ve featured a summer house by Studiomama on my blog before, see it here

Is it a spaceship? Is it a summer house? Strange maybe, but so cool! Villa Mecklin is located in the Finnish archipelago and all wood surfaces have been left untreated and will turn grey naturally. By architects Huttunen Lipasti Pakkanen Architects

Always on the look out for stuff to the house
at the moment. While browsing windows- and blinds company VELUX® I found
this amazing home, called the VELUX Sunlighthouse, Austria’s first
carbon-neutral single-family house. The home’s roof and
other architectural elements take advantage of the sun to
ensure maximum daylight and solar energy. It ’s design was the result of
a competition between nine
up-and-coming Austrian architects, and the winner was Hein-Troy Architekten.
In our new house, we´ve tried to use green energy solutions too, but
I´m afraid we can´t brag about beeing carbon neutral, just yet!

Or house is still sort of a building site, but as soon there is something to see I´ll share it with you! For now, here is the view from our future kitchen (winter and spring), and some pics of the mixer we´ve decided to go for in it: Mora Inxx A5 in stainless steel, by Swedish brand Mora. Can´t wait to make coffee here in the morning. This is the Oslofjord by the way, Oslo is just left of the picture.
